I’ve photographed this beautiful family a few times over the past few years. I absolutely ADORE them. This was their first family session since having little miss C.

Aren’t they perfect??!!!

(p.s. for those of you looking for color combo ideas, THIS is perfect!!!)

Okay, I’m going to be totally honest with you all. A long time ago I used to say that I would never do studio work. Part of it was lack of understanding lights, backgrounds, etc. Part of it was not having the location to do it. But the major reason was that I thought I couldn’t do “fun” work in the studio. I felt as though getting good photos of people was only going to happen outside. I hated the idea of tacky backdrops and cheesy props.

I’ve been doing studio work for a few years now and have been in my studio location for a year and a half.

I have grown to LOVE it.

This session totally and completely confirmed that I could get REAL personality with a group of kids and teens in studio. They all had so much personality and made me really realize how much I can do against a simple backdrop with just a couch.

Here’s some of my favorites from the session.

For some crazy reason, I’ve had so many little boy sessions lately!!! They are all so much fun and it’s so cute to see their “tough guy” attitude when they’re so little.

Here’s some favorites from three different sessions a few weeks ago.

Enjoy!!!

P.S. Holiday deadline for portraits is Dec. 1st to ensure delivery of digital files or prints by Christmas!! So if you’re considering a session before the holidays, I still have a couple spots before the deadline. Call (360) 562-1879 to book!!

A bunch of adorable people…

Okay, I’m a bad blogger. I’m sorry. I SWORE I wouldn’t be one of those people, but I guess it just happens. Sadly, I’ve ran out of time in my day and not every session can be blogged. I guess I knew that time would come, but I’m having difficulty coming to grips with it. I HATE to make people feel left out if I don’t post their session.

So, that being said, I will still post as much as I can, but now being 14 sessions behind in blogging, I just have to accept the fact that it can’t happen. I have to make sure everyone gets their photos done and edited in a timely fashion as well as receiving their prints SUPER FAST like I promise.

And please please please don’t take it personal if I’m not able to post your session on here. I LOVE YOU ALL and you’re all fabulous!!!!!

(I can and will post them on facebook, however, so just add me as a friend and I’ll tag you with your images!!!)

Okay, on to more fun things…..

Here’s a couple of cuties from this last week. No, they’re not related whatsoever, but looking at the two next to each other, they do look like they could be!!

Miss E just turned TWO!!! I photographed her parents wedding this last September.

It’s amazing how fast she’s grown and how CUTEEEEEEEEE she is!!! (sorry, I”m gushing)

priceless

Okay and here’s another little cutie who just turned one!!! I’ve been photographing her since she was a few days old!!!

THOSE EYES!!!

Miss L just turned ONE!!!

PERFECT!!!!!!!!

okay this is priceless!!!

She did almost exactly the same thing as my son did for his one year photos.

Including the eating the arm, trying to eat the whole cake, etc.

I love cake smash sessions. They’re seriously awesome!!!

I have no words for this perfect moment between my boys.

my lemondrops….

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:03:44 +0000

At least once a year I take my kiddos out for a fun session of the three of them. Sometimes I’m successful and sometimes I’m not. Thankfully this time I was. Of course, I couldn’t have done it without my awesome assistant Amanda. Thank you lady!!!

My daughter is how I got started in the photography business. She and my boys are still my favorite subjects. Although doing sessions with them seem to get more difficult as the years go by. I think they are done with mom taking their photos

My kids are why I do what I do.

FAVORITE!!

My girl

“tinker”

“the baby”

I big puffy heart my kids

PERFECT!!!!!!!!

how they really are during sessions and why I need an assistant

These little girls are just too cute for words. I absolutely adore them!! They listened perfectly and we got some beautiful photographs of them. I wish my own kids would listen so well.

Thank you for a wonderful session! I hope you enjoy your quick sneak peak!!!

these girls are too cute!!!

I first met these two little cuties last year for their family photos. They have grown so much this past year and it was fun photographing them again!! Here’s last year’s session. It’s amazing how quickly time flies. I swear it was just yesterday that we were having fun in the rain.

Thank you so much for having me do your photos again this year. I truly appreciate the business!! I hope you enjoy your preview!!

GORGEOUS eyes!!

that little grin melts a person’s heart

They are seriously too cute together

{bright eyes} Longview Children’s photographer

Jenica Lemmons — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:02:27 +0000

This adorable 21 month old has the most beautiful sparkely eyes. I did absolutely NO retouching on the eyes. It’s completely crazy how beautiful they are. We had a fun mini session out at the Lake here in Longview. We got the good weather right before it started raining again. It was such a treat to photograph this beautiful little girl.

I hope you enjoy the preview!!

I didn’t even have to bribe her for this lovely smile!

peek a boo!

this image completely amazes me. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

seriously, those eyes!!!!

Fall is here!! Longview, WA kids photographer

Jenica Lemmons — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:40:45 +0000

These kids came in with their parents for a fun family session out at the Lake. The colors on the leaves have started to change and they dressed perfectly with fall colors.

They were absolutely adorable and I couldn’t help but post a quick sneak peak from their session.

Thanks so much for having me do your photos!!!

This little firecracker was a blast!! She and I had quite a fun time stomping on leaves and exploring the gardens.

Check out her sparkely brown eyes. GORGEOUS!!!

okay seriously, could anyone resist that face???

This photo brings tears to my eyes as a mom myself. Between siblings there’s such love (and fighting). It’s just so sweet….

Sugar and spice and everything nice…

Jenica Lemmons — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 05:55:29 +0000

That’s what girls are made of.

This adorable family has two little girls. Youngest is 6 months and the oldest is 3 years. They are both so incredibly sweet and fun. The three year old had a blast exploring around the park. She was a bundle of energy and full of laughter. Her younger sister was so content the entire time. She didn’t even make a fuss once during the entire session!!

Here’s a quick preview for you to enjoy!

What summer is all about….

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:52:28 +0000

My good friend Kylie called me to see if I was available to do a family session while she was in Astoria vacationing with her family. Of course I jumped at the opportunity since I rarely see her (she lives about 9 hours away). Since Mondays are my day “off” I grabbed a good friend, my kiddos, and packed up the van for the beach!

After the session I took the kiddos out to the beach for some fun and then hit up an ice cream store on our way out. I’ve always wanted pictures of my kiddos eating ice cream cones, so it was quite fun to capture.

THIS is what summer is about!

is this not the cutest shop??!!!

D totally downed his entire cone and sat there after the other kids were finished. He was completely covered with ice cream by the time he was finished!

and many thanks to my good friend Lindsay for helping me with the kids! I couldn’t have done it without you, girl!

My baby girl is turning seven on Friday.

I can’t even believe that much time has passed since she came into this world and changed my life forever. She so much like me in so many ways, yet so much like so many other people in our family. She has her daddy’s wits, her grandpa’s brown eyes, her nana’s looks, her mama’s crazy personality, her grandma’s creativity, and her papa’s sense of humor.

She’s the reason I got started in photography and she is still my favorite subject. Although nowadays her ideas are always better than mine. For this session I just let her do her own thing.

She is an amazing little girl.

Happy Birthday Miss K.

I hope you get everything that’s on your list!!!

(and yes, she does read my blog. She’s cute like that)

The “B” kids – Children’s photography in Longview, WA

Jenica Lemmons — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:20:05 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy in his first few days of life (can be seen here), now three months later his blonde hair and blue eyes are mirror images of his sisters. These cuties were sweetly happy and a lot of fun play with. These sessions with little ones always moves me as I see the true beauty of God at work. Thanks for choosing me to catch these precious moments.

I’m extremely grateful to be able to do what I love so much.

I hope you enjoy your preview!

and because this one cracked me up so much, I just had to share!

Little “E” – Portland, OR kids photography

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 22:07:36 +0000

I got the chance to photograph Little “E” at the Portland State University campus in downtown Portland. I’ve been photographing little “E” since his mama was pregnant with him and I did her maternity pictures. He’s now a year and a half and cute as ever. His dad attends the college there at Portland State, so it was perfectly fitting to do the session in the common areas. “E” looked like a little college student. It was so cute watching him play and laugh!

Thanks M for letting me photograph one of my favorite little guys. I had a fun time hanging out with you and will definitely be coming to Portland more often!

The “B” girls – watch out boys, they’re gonna be heartbreakers!

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:05:38 +0000

I did a quick mini session with these adorable girls out at their family property in Longview. They were brave little souls and endured the freezing weather just an hour before it started raining. Thankfully we caught the good weather and were able to do photos outdoors. I had fun processing these and they have a sort of vintage feel. It was a great session!

I hope you enjoy your preview…

and just for fun!

and a few cards…

“all I want for Christmas…”

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:26:56 +0000

is my two front teeth!!!!

My little girl lost her top tooth the day before yesterday. She was so excited and she kept running around singing the song. She lost her bottom teeth before summer, but had her permanent teeth grow in behind them so she never had a gap in her smile. This is her first time having a space in her teeth, so she is excited. She also gets her name on the “lost a tooth” board in her classroom at school.

She actually asked me if I would take her picture. I think that’s a first!!!
